"I'm against targeted killings by drones, but I'm also against targeted killing by sniper, by spear, by knife, by club. The technology isn't so important. What I was arguing against in the filibuster was targeted assassination."

Straw Man has no issue whatsoever w extra judicial drone strikes when its o-fuck doing it

He could have done the filibuster without having to draw on absurd examplesThat's what I don't understand. His basic reasoning was valid but why stoop to absurd and ridiculous examples that just make him look like an insincere and stupid clown.

Someone needed to force the administration to reveal their stand, and make a clear statement.

I'm unhappy with Rand because I hadn't realized that he can't hold a fucking line when he starts to dream of the White House (or whatever his problem turns out to be). That tells me that his convictions are weak, and he is prone toward being a flake.

I'm against that shit when it comes to US citizens. I am a citizen protect by the constitution of the united states. I don't give a fuck about what we are doing to the people in a war zone, and if I was there, I would expect the enemy to use that ability on me, but I'm a US citizen and this shit is what the Nazi's would do if they had the tech in the 40s.

Bro, I'm reading exactly what he's saying. Do you think he could be playing games with words because he wants to have a run at president?

Yes,

To be honest (whether or not it's wrong) I hope he doesn't fall into the trap his dad did. He has to tell people (neo cons, religious right) what they want to hear to some degree.

The man emerging from the liquor store has been targeted because he has a weapon and is presumed to have robbed the store.

Would you disagree?

In re-reading the posts, I am probably arguing the wrong premise. If we are talking Drone in each case, not much difference. I was picturing the policeman he had mentioned and a possible deadly force confrontation. But drone alone.. yeah, could be similar
